Reality has caught up with the NDC – Dr Gideon Boako jabs

Dr. Gideon Boako, MP for Tano North, criticized the opposition NDC. He accused them of hypocrisy and dishonesty regarding Ghana’s economic issues.

In a Facebook post, Dr. Boako called out the NDC for changing their narrative. He specifically mentioned COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war's impact on the economy.

He stated, “You can spread propaganda when in opposition, but reality will catch up.” This referred to Environment Minister Murtala Mohammed's recent comments about external shocks affecting Ghana’s economy.

Dr. Boako highlighted the NDC's inconsistency. He noted that they had previously criticized the NPP administration for citing those same reasons.

He defended the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on its economic management. He insisted it was not about shifting blame but acknowledging global realities.

“We did not mislead Ghanaians or evade responsibility,” he said. He added that opponents relied on cheap propaganda while ignoring global economic impacts.

Dr. Boako compared the NDC’s admissions to a reluctant confession. “Reality has caught up with them,” he remarked, likening it to a witch undergoing exorcism.

He expressed confidence in the NPP’s achievements before leaving office. The party restored the economy to pre-COVID-19 levels with a growth rate of 5.7%.

The NPP also recorded a historic GDP of over one trillion cedis, unprecedented in Ghana's history.

He concluded by challenging the current administration to build on this solid foundation.
